The cause of the drama obtained anotl:er glorious victory, and one of her most zealous friends, a splendid triumph, in the thoroughly successful production at this theatre on Satur- It is scarcelyneeessary, to remind the reader that to be successful on the stage a drama requires other, and sometimes different qualities, than those which might entitle it to the highest esteem among the dramatic poet!) , of the library. And nobly has The Athenian Captive passed through that severely trying ordeal—actual representation. As an acting play it is far superior to its predecessor, Ion; in exquisite poetry, in beauty of thought, in nobleness of sentiment it is fully its equal. Both belong to what may be termed the classical school of the drama, which appears rather like Grecian sculp ture, to enrapture us by the calm perfect love t ness, or awe us by the dignity and grandeur of its creations, than to agi tate us by the violence of contesting passions, or by great va riety of moving and affecting incident. In An, perhaps, as far at least as the stage is concerned, these qualities were carried almost to a fault, and the moral beauty of the cha racter was refined nearly to the abstract. With the Athenian Captive it is far otherwise; for while not yielding one iota to the other, in the pure, chaste, classic beauty of its style, and the rich yet exquisite selection of its imagery, there is enough of interest infused into the plot to fix the attention, and engage it without a moment's flagging through a succes sion of natural and easily connected incidents to the very last. From the instant we hear (at the commencement of the play) of the prowess and the generosity of the Athenian warrior we feel interested, we look eagerly for his appearance ; when we behold his noble bearing, and indignant rejection of a life to be purchased by slavery, our anxiety for his preservation prompts us to join ardently in the generous solicitations of the Prince of f hard Corinth,co n ditio t n h . at he Nl w .e ill se a e ccept the offered boon even on that " the iron has entered the soul" of the freeborn Athenian as his limbs are arrayed in the prisoner's ignominious garb—we sympathise in his yearnings after freedom—in his patriotic aspirations towards the country of his birth, " the land of the beautiful and brave." The charac ter of Thoas (the Athenian Captive) is well displayed in oppo sition to that of Ismene, (his unknown mother, the Queen of Corinth,) who, having liberated him from prison, endeavous to excite him to revenge her wrongs by killing the King. There is a most striking contrast between Thoas, cne of those noble minds, who, " with honour in one eye anddeath in the other" would look on both ind;lTerently—vi hose soul revolts at the mur derous proposal, and the stern, cold, remorselessly revengeful nature of Ismene, who reminds us not a littleof Lady Macbeth, and whose fearful influence on the more excitable mind of her son induces him to take an oath which, unintentionally, hurries him on to the murder he shuddered to hear proposed. The remorse of Thoas, on discovering that, in the darkness. he bad killed the father of his benefactor, the Prince, and of her who had become the star of his idolatry, is drawn with great power. The scene in which the unhappy son discovers that she who had instigated him to murder is his mother, and re pulses her proffered embraces with horror—is one of deep and affecting interest, But the interest reaches its most thrilling point when, before the assembled Court, Ismene solemnly ad jured to discover the murderer, of whom the oracle had de clared her cognizant, influenced by a mother's affection (which even in her stern and cold heart), is still with beautiful truth preserved by the poetry as the last remaining evidence that her woman's heart was not yet wholly marbled) denounces the Prince as a parricide, when she interposes the authority which she mysteriously exerts over Thoas to prevent the divu!ging of his guilt, which he earnestly desires to do ;:and when, just at the moment when innocent blood is about to be poured forth, the Athenian warrior, with a noble act of martyrdom for justice, strikes himself a mortal wound, and with his dying breath declares himself the criminal. The acting of the play—the outline of which we have thus sketched—deserves to be spoken of in terms of highest com mendation. Mr. Macready personated the Athenian' Captive in a style of excellence, which himself only could have dis played. We have more than once remarke i that this fine actor's taste and discrimination never are better shown than in a classi cal character. His performance of Thoas was as perfect an em bodiment of the poet's conceptions as could have been desired. He admirably pourtrayed the manly, honourable, noble nature of Athens' bravest warrior, who carried in his veins the blood of Theieus' Royal race. His remorse, after the murder which he had unwillingly committed, was terribly impressive. When amidst the Nobles of Corinth, he hears " Ruin to Athens" given, the burst of indignant declamation which followed was splendid, and called down repeated and reiterated applause. Equally magnificent was his acting in the last scene, and his energetic appeal on behalf of the innocent Prince ; in short, (for in such a performance it is vain to select beauties) the character was personated with that completeness and sustained fidelity which marks Mr. Macready's acting generally, and was interspersed with a hundred delicate touches of pathos and beauty which were absolutely electrical. Mrs. Warner, as Ismene, well looked the imperious, revengeful Queen, and her acting throughout was powerful and impressive. Miss Taylor alto well performed Creusa (daughter of the Corinthian King) ; and the minor parts were re spectably filled up by Messrs. Glover, Perkins, Hemmings, and Waldron. The scenery was excellent, and tastefully ar ranged. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which the play was received from the beginning. Every act was closed amidst a burst of cheering ; and at the close the audience gave vent to their admiration in thunders of applause, which were not to be satisfied even by the appearance of Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner, who were, however, cordially cheered. The cries for dr. Talfourd became loud and incessant, and at length the learned author came to the front of a private box, and was almost overwhelmed by rapturous and long-continued plaudits. We cannot help observing that not only the Attorney-Ge neral, but many Conservative Members of Parliament vigo rously opposed to Mr. Talfourd in politics, were present, and among the most enthusiastic in testify ing their admiration of his genius. PUBLIC MEETINGS IN FAVOUR OF THE NATIONAL PETITION AND THE PEO PLE'S CHARTER. Oa Wednesday last a.very numerous meeting of the inha bitants of Kettering was held on the Market I-1111. The meeting was convened by the Kettering Radical Association. Mr. Vincent (of London), and Mr. Jones, Secretary of the Northampton Working Men's Association, arrived a little before noon ; and at one o'clock, Mr. C. WILSON', a working man, was called to the chair. Excellent addresses were deli vered. After adopting resolutions in favour of the objects of the meeting, and voting thanks to Messrs. Vincent and Jones, to which they briefly replied, the meeting separated. WELLINGBOROUGH. Vincent and Jones arrived in this town, from Ket tering, aboitt seven o'clock on the evening of Wednesday. The rain was c le z cending in torrents. Immediately on their arrival a few intelligent working men obtained permission to hold a meeting in the White Hart Assembly-rooms. The bellman was immediately sent tound, and at eight o'clock the room was well filled. Mr. BEATINE, a respectable tradesman, was called to the chair. He briefly introduced Mr. Vincent to the meeting, who was received with enthus'aqic cheering. Mr. VINCENT entered in'.o a full explanation of the princi ples of the democratic creed. Mr. JONES next briefly addressed the meeting upon the ad vantages of Working Men's Associations. It was then resolved to form an Association upon the princi ples of the London Working Men's Association, and a Com mittee of 13 Were appointed to conduct the necessary busieess. Thanks were voted to Messrs. Vincent and Jones, and the meeting separated. LONG BUCKBY. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Long Buckby was held on the Market Hill. cn Thursday, August 2d. Mr. Vincent, of London, attended the meeting. accompanied by Mr. Jones; Secretary of the Northampton Working Men's Association. The Chair was taken at 7 o'clocki❑ the evening. A considerable portion of the meeting ccnsibted of agricultural labourers, and a sprinkling of farmers. After adopting reso lutions in favour of Radical principles, it was resolved to form a Working Men's Association, and a considerable number forthwith enrolled themselves. The agricultural labourers paid the greatest attention to Mr. Vincent's address, and evinced their assent to his doctrines, by repeatedly hailing him with cheers. RIOT.—On Sabbath last, the Falkirk Sheriff and Procurator. Fiscal, with the criminal officers, ware sent for express to the village of Maddiestown, where it seems the Irish labourers em. ployed at the Slamannan Railway, who have of late committed extensive and alarming outrages on persons and property, had, after their pay on the previous day, assemb , ed in a formidable body, and were setting all at defiance. A great number of special constables turned out to aid the authorities, but the resolute exertions of the numerous colliers in that quarter mainly contributed to overawe the lawless mob. One of the number only was taken into custody, charged with an aggravated assault, &c. He was summarily tried next day, and sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment —Scotsman. It is useless to complain of the utter inefficiency of the wretched boats plying between this and Hobbs' Point.

WYSE, M.P.—A report has been current in Waterford for the last few weeks to the effect that our excellent Mem. ber, Mr. Wyse, had been offered, and had aec2pte I the situation of resi dent Irish Poor.law Commissioner in London. We believe the situa. tion in question was placed at the disposal of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ; but that he accepted it we think there ore no grounds what ever for crediting. For were it the intention of Mr. W3sc to do so, we are sure he would not treat his constituents with such neglect as to keep them in the (lark on a subject so closely al ied to their best inte rests.

The following letter has been received by Provost Honeyman, from that indefatigable practical Reformer, Mr. Wallace. The post-marks on the letter, to which attention is called by the writer, are, " Put in after 7 o'clock at night," another bearing the date 21st July, and the ►'rank stamp of date 23rd July, all made before leaving London--also one made at Edinburgh date 25th July, on which day it reached Cupar, anti was delivered about 3 o'clock P.M. It thus appears that the letter was not received by the Provost of Cupar, to whom it is addressed, sooner than ninety-two hours rifler it had passed from the hands of the writer into the London Poit-Office: a period of time, be it observed, in which the Edinburgh and London steamers would make two trips I This sirnp:e fact speaks volumes as to the slovenly manner in which the affairs cf an office are .managed which taxes the country to an enormous extent, and the commercial world owes a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Wallcce for having thus brought the matter to light. That gratitude which must be felt, cannot be better shown than by combined movement on the part of the public, to aid the Honourable Gentleman in carrying forward the legislative measures for the general improvEment of the Post-office in which he is earnestly and vigorously engaged. Let all those: towns and public bodies who have not yet petitioned in favour of the introduction of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan, which has been so far advancA, get up petitions and instruct their Representatives to support the measure. " Sra—The object I have in sending this is to show practically the effects ofdetaining the correspondence of the whcle woi Id at least thirty six hours every week in London, in consequence of the Postmaster_ General perrnittingthe establishment in the London Post-office to evade those duties which are performed in every other Post-office in this kingdom, and all over the civilized world, I believe. This will be put into the General Post-ollic. - r at eight o'clock this evening— where it will remain until eight on Monday morning, and then be sent by the day mail, if for the north of England, or any part of all Leand; but if for any town in many important part of England, or any in all Scotland, it will be kept back twelve hours longer, that is, until eight o'clock that night —or forty eight hours from the hour of its being put into the London Post-elee ; during which time one mail-coach will leave the General Post. office quite empty at eight on Sunday morning; another mail. coach will depart in the same state at eight on Sunday evening ; the third mail, being nearly empty, will do the duty for the North of England and Ireland only, the whole country being taxed and paying for all three; the fourth mail will do the duty for Scotland, while that country pays its share for the two empty.going Sunday mails, and the :ialf-loaded Monday morning mail, but gets no service from any of the three. I shall ere long circulate a Return from the Post-office, which will confirm the detention of the whole foreign correspondence .coming into this country, and all the other facts narrated above. " I will expend all my Saturday franks in sending similar letters to this while Parliament is sitting ; and thus do my endeavour to expose and rid the country of an imposition, creating great commercial loss, besides being a monstrous official hoax at this period of the nineteenth entury. " You will please to observe the date of the Post office Stamps on this, which will shew the days it is put iato and sent from the London Post office. You rill atso please advert to the oath taken, or declaration made, by the Postmaster-General, and all others in Post.office employ. ment, against delaying letters, which thoroughly satisfiel me this inter tional delay is illegal. " I have only to add that the Post-office establishment in London is paid at a much higher rate, and has much less work to do, than any other ; and that the servants of thepublic in it, like those throughout the country, are paid by the year, and therefore it is rather too much that the Pest-office revenue should be diminished, perhaps nearly one-seventh, and all parts of the empire taxed for innumerable mail coaches running empty one whole day in the week, merely to excuse the London depart, ment from performing its official duties as others do. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " ROBERT WALLACE. " London, July 21, 1837."—life Herald, 2d August. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, .A.T7G-ITST 6, IS3S LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. (From New York Papers received to the 16th ult ) THE LATE SESSION OF CONGRESS. (From the National Intelliyencer of Tuesday.) The two Houses of Congress adjourned yesterday at twelve o'clock, having completed all the business which it was pos sible for them to complete, but leaving unfinished and defunct upon the tables at least one-half of all the business prepared for their action. RESUMPTION OF CASH PAYMENTS. PHILADELPHIA BANKS.—It seems by the following article, which we cut from the Philadelphia United States Gazette of yesterday, that the banks of that city have yielded to Mr. Rid dle's delaying plan of a convention : " At a meeting of the associated banks of the city and county of Philadelphia, held on Wednesday evening, the 11th inst., Mr. Dunlap, from the Committee appointed to recom mend proper measures for the early and general resumption of specie payments, presented a report, which, with the fol lowing resolutions, was adopted by the board, v:z. Resolved—That the banks of Boston, Providence, Bal timore, and Richmond, and such others as the time admits of, be invited to meet the banks of Philadelphia in convention in this city on Monday, the 23d instant, to consult upon the mea sures to be adopted for an early and simultaneous resumption of spa cis payments. " Resolved—That the Committee be instructed to com municate this resolution to the banks in question, and to make the necessary arrangements for the meeting of the con vention.' " It was also resolved, that it be recommended to the seve ral banks of the city and districts to appoint one or more dele gates to represent them in this convention. " The Association then adjourned sine die." MOBILE. MONEY MARKET, Jui.v 6.—Drawers have ad vanced the:r pretensions som,,th:ng this week, from their en tire command of the market, but have met few purchasers ; these only who were obliged to remit have submit'ed to our .rates. Business in this department may be said to have been nominal. We stated in our last that the banks of Alabama would be able to resume specie payment on the Ist of January next. We still believe in the ability to do this, though a small ma. jority of the State banks hale suceeeded in fixing upon the 4th of July, 1839, as the day for this resumption. Our local banks have had no action upon this subject, but are perfectly ready to fulfil this duty at any time. The Bank of Mobile is the principal drawer on New Orleans at 11 per cent.---Com. niercial List. A meeting was held on the 26th ult. at Columbus, Missis sippi, to take into consideration the state of the banks and the currency of the State. The following resolutions were adopted : " 1. That the loaning of money on cotton bonds was in vio lation of the principles of banking. "2. That the banks of Mississippi, in refusing to sell ex change at home, throw down the value of their paper. " 3. That banks ought to sell exchange at borne at fair rates, and to loan only on endorsed notes and bills of exchange. " 4. That no bank director ought to sit in the Legislature. "5. That the present banking system of Mississippi is inju rious to the State. " 6. That this meeting approve the General Bank Law of New York as the real estate of the south could be represented under it, and that the Leg:slature be petitioned to l ass such a law. " 7. That the Legislature ougl.t ti fix an ear'y (1.. y for the resumption of specie payments." IMPORTANT FROM PHILADELPIIIA.—At the meeting of the General Committee of Banks on Wednesday evening, the re solutions in favour of a convention reported by the Sub-Com. mittee were carried, not unanimously, but by a small majority. After this vote the Bank of the United States gave notice, that after the Ist of August it should cease to pay or receive interest on bank balances, and would on that day be ready to adjust all such balances by payment The Bank has sent a circular to institutions out of Philadelphia with which it has balances announcing the same fact, and added that the officers of the Bank do not mean that this should be understood as an announcement of their intention to resume specie payments generally on that day. Most of the letters from Philadelphia consider all the movements as insuring a general resumption of specie payments on the Ist of August. The dissolution of the General Committee leaves each bank to act for itse:f. Mr. Biddle's control over the banks around him, whether exercised through this Committee or otherwise, is evidently broken up, and he has been driven pell-mell to look rosumption in the face, and under circumstances much more embarrassing than would have existed had he but united with the New York banks, and made a general resumption in May. P.S.---We had written thus far, when the Philadelphia United States Gazette of yesterday morning came to hand, containing the annexed proclamation of Governor Ritner, who has nroved himself a sound and sensible \% hig, by signifying to those able-bodied lubbers within his jurisdiction who say they can pay their debts, lint will not, that unless they alter their minds before the 13th of next month, he will make them ache for the omission : " Pennsylvanii, Ss —ln the name and by the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by Joseph Ritner, Go vernor of the said Commonwealth, " A PROCLAMATION. " The period hos arrived when the series of misfortunes produced by the injurious interference of the National Govern ment with the currency of the country is about to terminate. Congress having risen without sanctioning the attempt to rive to the Federal Executive the entire control of the national wealth, and of the whole amount of specie in the country, and the consequent power to affect and wield to its own pur poses all the capital and credit of the Union ; and having imposed certain salutary restrictions on so much of this power as has been already arrogated, it is incumbent on the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania to put forth her strength, to quicken her dormant energies, and to take that stand in the trade and commerce of the Union which her unb iunded re sources, her vast natural and artificial facilities for their deve lopment, and the solid and energetic character of her citizens demand ; to deprive her of which stand, all the measures of the National Government have recently tendel. brought cr n ehf t " For tie production of this most desirable result the mea sure first requisite is, that an end be put to certain open in fractions of the spirit of the laws, which is At been forced upon us by the overbearing necessities of the times; and to restore credit and the currency to the firm basis on which they stood before their late derangement was unnecessarily o h r r e e e 9 l ; u e b i o r y p e virtue ther. t u e Governorof t hat c o t i f j trit7un l that thc laws be faithfully executed,°:iatrinedeSntfaiotreoftthoteiretpaukorenpncOastelres' aforesaid, on or beforedo olireerielaythrquir day y o all banks of August in this nexten s c u o i m ng mo t n h w e ealtl, date i hereof, to resume ancr continue the l, > - f ;heir re " spective notes, bills, and o th er o bli gat i ons, in gold and sil ver coin, according to the true intent and meaning of their charters. And, for the purpose of aiding these institutions in Ow 4cPotopli4roont of this laudable object, I deem it proper to state, reom infolmittion 14y,c kbtailvd, that their solvency and general condition are inch as to 'entitle them to the confidence of all who hold their notes, their amen it of specie on hand being largely increased, and of notes in circulation much diminished, since the suspension of ,vecie, payments in May, 1837. " While it is . }.l4is dieerfully announced that the means of the banks are ample, and that' ceitctuei had tilroiabe out the late trying crisis, generally such as to sustain our already high character for punctuality, honesty, and solvency, maintain and even in,=rease our trade, keep up the value of property, and prevent the State from becoming the theatre of panic or distress, yet I shall feel bound in duty to the public to take all the means in my power to compel a return to that agency and responsibility to their creditors for which they were created. Accordingly, if a return to general and real redemption in specie, and a withirawal of all illegal paper money from circulation, do not now take' place, when all admit that it may, with safety and public beEefi•, I shall !Add it my duty, forthwith, take all the measures to compel it which the constitution and laws have played in my power, and at the opening of the next session of the Legislature to recommend the passage of such laws as may more effxtually guard the future from the evils of the past. " And further f.Jr the purposes, and by virtue of the enjoin ment aforesaid, I do also hereby require all parsons or bodies corporate, who may have violated the laws of this state, by the emission and circulation of notes of any denomination under that of five dollars, commonly called Shin plasters,' to take instant measures for the full and honest redemption of the same, in gold and silver coin, or such other ample equiyaknt as shall be satisfactory to the holders thereof, under pain of the penalties, if this notice be ❑ot complied with in a reasonable time, it will be the duty of all good citizens to enforce. _ _ " Should this requirement be fully and promptly complied with, the Commonwealth will be restored to that sound cur rency which she possessed before the suspension—viz , one composed of gold and silver for all sums under, and of notes instantly convertible into specie for all sums of and over five dollars. The result of the attempt to improve the cur rency will then obviously be, that the only paper issues in cir culation and not convertible into specie at the place whence issued will be those of the National Government. In communicating thus publicly with my fellow-citizens on this most important and interesting matter, I would respectfully and earnestly say to all, be firm and cool in the emergency. Trust in the laws, have confidence in the institutions, and sus tain the high credit and character of your glorious Commonwealth. You have borne yourselves through the crisis nobly and honourably. You have come almost unin jured out of the trial. Make one more calm and steady ef fort and all will be well. The forbearance and determination heretofore exhibited have beon such as to reflect credit upon the State, while it has strengthened the hands and cheered the hearts of your public agents in the performance of duties of no ordinary difficulty. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, at Harrisburg, this 10th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1838, and of the Commonwealths the 63d. " By the, Governor.

(Prom the Toronto Palladium of July 4. ) The Publication of this number has been deferred to thelast moment in order to‘give the lastest news from the west. It is not certain how many of the rebels or Yankee marauders have landed at or near Port Sarnia ; but it seems they crossed over in force to Bear Creek, and proceeded up that stream towards London. An engagement of our outposts has taken place, in which 16 of the enemy were killed, and six taken prisoners ; and the engagement terminated in the utter rout of the rebels. Our loss is said to be two killed. But this is the day in which the grand effort is to be made, and it will be well if our Privy Councillors are not still found to be in their night caps ! Important news may be expected to-morrow; and if it be as we anticipate, we shall issue an extra with the particulars. (From the New Orleans Bee of July 4.) INTERESTI NG FROM MEXICO. —We are indebted to one of the officers of the United States ship Natchez for files of Mexican Papers to the Bth of June. The schooner Creole reports that a French ship and a brig had been taken possession of by tl.e Mexicans on the 20th ult. at Laguna. The French blockading squadron off Vera Cruz consists of two frigates, three brigs, and two schooners. We publish below a letter from our correspondent at Tam pico, received by the schooner Creole, arrived last night : " Tampico, June 21. " Sir,— Our intelligence from Vera Cruz is to the 17th inst., at which time the French frigate Hermione, Commander Bazoche, and three brigs, were at Sacrificios. Baron Def faudis, the French Minister, left on the 12th in a brig-of-war for France. Preparations were made to attack the place on the Bth, at which time the squadron consisted of two frigates and five brigs, a force one would think scarcely adequate for such a purpose. A consultation, however, was held on that day, and the enterprise abandoned. Great excitement was produce lin the city by the rumour, so much so that Governor Rincon ad vised the French residents to leave, as he might not be able to protect them in the event of an attack. • This procedure on the part of the Minister and Com mander were undoubtedly a ruse de guerre, designed merely to see what overtures might be elicited from the Mexicans previous to the departure of the Minister. The French Con sul had so incurred the displeasure of the authorities as to in duce them to tender him his passport, and he is now on board the frigate. pl : ce O d ii u te n r de p r o t r h ts e I s t t ag been p eilitne o o oern the b he , bl o u c t k t a hy have also been d e in g squadron. s " Little or no business is doing at Vera Cruz : foreign merchandise very scarce, and in great demand. The blockade is very rigidly enforced, th oug h, it seems , w ith all possible fairness and honesty. " Some new regulations have been made in relation to the seizure of vessels; they will be captured on their first ap pearance without any previous admonition of the blockade, as heretofore. The particulars of this Dew order have been despatched to the United Sti.tes, and of course will not be enforced till made known to the public. Under other cir cumstances a capture could not be justified . . Vessels taken will be sent to Sacrificios. 'I he Comniandant is further in vested With , the power, should he deem it necessary, to ex clude men of war from the places blockaded. " A number of ve.isels, English, French, and United States, had arrived at Sacrificios, and were refused admission. " It is rumoured , an d g enerall y believed, that the media tion of her Majesty Queen Victoria has been solicited with a view to a reconciliation with France. " No particular ne ws from the city of Mexico, other than a report, engendered undoubtedly in some fright med imagina- Deffaudis on the 20th (yesterday?. imagina tion, that the French would attack Vera Cruz and Tampico " The La P. rouse is lying off this port ; she is recently from Sacrificios. From all that I can learn I infer that no. 1 ,011-have arrived . in France,. and such means directed thing w ill be done until after October, by which time Baron as will oblige the Mexicans to come into measures at once, or in all probability share the fate of Algiers."

IMPRISONMENT VOR DEBT BILL. Abstract of a Bill (as amended by the Howse of Commons) entitled " An Act for Abolishing Arrest on niti3ne process in Civil Actions, except in certain cases; for extendmg the re medies; of Creditors against the property of 'Debtors ; and for amending the lanes fur the relief of Insolvent Deb:ors in England and Wales." The operation of this measure is limited to England and Wales, and does not extend to either Ireland or Scotland, and the period from which it is to take effect is the first of October (next), IS3S. The first 21 clauses of the Bill relate to the alterations which are made in the law of debtor and creditor ; and the succeed iag 96 cl4tres simply re-enact the Insolvent Debtors' Act, under the provisions of which the Cummissioteara will from the 1 t of Oetobar, be able to afford relief in (mica of contempt and other instances as heretofore. The following are the clauses, in point of substance, by which the provisions of the new law are to he cartied into effect. The preamble reaites, that the present power of arrest upon niesne process is unnecessarily extensive, and ought to be re laxed, and then the Bill goes on to enact :- 1. That after the commencement of the Act, no person shall be arrested upon-mersne process in any civil action in any inferior court whatsoever; or .(except as after-mentioned) in any supe rior court. 2. That all personal actions in the superior Courts of law at Westminster shall be commenced only by writ of summons. • 3. That if a plaintiff shall by affidavit show to the satisfac tion of a judge of any of the superior courts that he hasa cause of action against a defendant, to the amount of twenty pounds or upwards, or has sustained damage to that amount, and that there is probab'e reason fur believing that the defendant is about to quit England unless he be forthwith apprehended, the judge may by specie, order direct that such defendant shall he held to bail for any sum not exceeding the amount of the debt or damages ; and thereupon the plaintiff may, within the time expressed in order, but not afterwards, sue out one or more writ or writs of copies into one or more different counties for holding the defendant to bail. This writ is to be accord ing to a prescribed form, and to bear date the day it is issued. 4. That the Sheriff or other officer to whom such writ shall be directed shall, within one calendar month, but nut after wards, arrest the defendant thereon, and detain him in custody until either a bail bond shall have been entered into or a de posit shall have been made of the sum indorsed on such writ of capias, together with 10/. for costs. All subsequent pro ceedings in the action remain unchanged. 5. That an order to bold to bail may be made at any ti ne even after the commencement of the action (i. e. the issuing of the writ of summons), and before final judgment. When in custody the defendant may be served with the copy of the writ of summons if it have not been previously served on him. 6. That any persons arrested upon such writ of copies may apply to a Judge or the Court for -a -rule to show cause why he should not be discharged out of custody, and power is given to the Judge, or Court, to make absolute or discharge such rule, and award costs to either party, In the case of an order made by a, Judge, powea is reserved to the,Court to dis charge or vary it on application of either party. 7. That every pris mer who, at the commencement of the Act shall be in custody upon mesne process for any debt or demand, and shall not have filed a petition to be discharged as an insolvent debtor, shall be entitled to his discharge upon entering a common appearance to the action. Every prisoner, however, is liable to be either detained or arrested again if a Judge's order for the purpose be obtained, that is, if it can be shown that he isabout to leave England. 8. That every warrant of Attorney to confess a judgment, or cognovit aclioneni, shall be executed, in the presence of an attorney specially named for the purpose, by the party signing it, which Attorney is required to subscribe his name as a wit ness to the doe execution thereof. 9. That no such warrant of Attorney or cognovit actionem shall be valid unless executed in the manner aforesai 1. The object of this is to enable the party to know the nature and effect of the instrument he signs. 10. That to remedy a defect in the existing law, which does not provide adequate means for enabling judgment cre ditors to obtain satisfaction feom the property of their debtors, and to give such creditors more effectual remedies against the real and personal estate 'than they now possess, the sheriff or other officer to whom any writ of eligit, or any precept in pursuance thereof, shall be directed, at the suit of any person upon a judgment which, at the time of the commencement of this Act or afterwards, shall have been recovered in an action in any of the superior Courts, is empowered to make and deliver execution unto the party in that behalf suing, of all such lands, tenements, rectories, tithes, rents, and heredita meats (including lands and bereditaments of copyhold or cus tomary tenure), as the person against whom execution is so sued, or any person in trust for him, shall have been seized or possessed of at the time of entering up the raid judgment, or at any time afterwards, or over which such person shall at the time of entering up such judgment or at any time afterwards have any disposing power, which he might, without the assent of any other person, exercise for his own benefit, in like manner as the s tin a' eriff or other officer may now make and deliver execution of one moiety of the lands and tenements of any person against whom a writ of elegit is sued out, which lands, &c., by force of such execution, shall be held and enjoyed by the patty to whom such execution shall he so made or delivered, subject to account in the Court out of which such execu tion shall have been sued, as a tenant by digit now is in a Court of Equity. In the case of copyholds, the party to whom they are delivered is to be liable to all pas tents and sertices to the Lord of the Manor in the same way as the actual tenant would have been, bat then he will be entitled to hold the premises until the amount not only of his judgm; nt, but of such payments and the value of such services be paid as against purchafers, mortgagees, or creditors, who shall have become such before the commencement of this Act. This writ of elegit is to have no greater effect than at present. 11. That by virtue of any writ ofjierifacias seed out of any superior or iliferiar Court. or any precept in pursuance there. of, the sheriff or other officer may " seize and take away money or bank-notes ( whether (Stile Bank of England or ott.or hank), and any cheques, bills of exchange, promissory r.otes, bonds, specialties, or other securities for money," belonging to the person against whose effects such writ offieri facias shall be sued out, and ps4.:. and - deliver the same, or a sufficient part thereof; to the party suing out such execution. The sheriff is also empowered to hold any " cheques, bills of exchange, pro missory notes, bends, specialties, or other securities for money," as security for the amount, which by every such writ he directed to levy, and to sue for the recovery of the same relatively as the time of payment arrives. The receipt of the sheriff is made a legal discharge, and on receiving the amount of the securities which he so holds, he is to pay the sum marked on every such writ, and, after retaining his own poundage and expenses, to baud over the surphas to the de fendant. The sheriff, however, is net bound to sue in such cases unless properly indemnified. 12. That judgments entered, or to be entered upon, shall , operate as a charge upon all " lands, tenements, rectories, advowsons, tithes, rents, and hereditaments (including lands and hcreditaments of copyhold or customary tenure), or to which the party, against whom the judgment is recovered, may be entitled, for any estate at law or in equity, " who. (her in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, or over which he shall have a disposing power for his own be nefit. All parties claiming under him and his issue, if he have power of barring their interest, arc bound to this charge. 13. That, however, this charge is not to be enforced " until after the e xp i ra ti on o f one year from the time of entering up the judgment, ter in the case of a judgment already entered up from the commencement of the Act." No preference is given to a judgment creek in case of bankruptcy, unless the judgment shall have been entered up one year at least before the bankruptcy. As r s egaids pereaaisers, mortagees, or cre ditors, who shall b e such prior to the Act, they are exempted from its operation ; and it is also provided " That if any sin gle creditor, or any too or more creditors, being loathe's, n hose debts shall amount to 100/ or upwards, or any ewe cre ditors tNhose debts shall amount to 1501. cr upwe.r&, or any three or more creditors whose debts shall amount to 2001. or upwards, of any trader within the bankrui t laws, shall file an affidavit, or affidavits, in the liard , ruptcy Courts of the debt or debts being jue , tly due, and of his bring a trader withing the bankrupt inns, and shall serve him with a copy of such affilavit or affi las its, and notice requiring immcdiate payment ; and if such trader shall o u t within al days aft-. r personal tervice of such affidavit, or rffidavits, and notice, pay, securo, or 0011Voglid for the debt or debts with his cre ditor or creditors, or eater into a bond in such sum or sums, and with two sufficietet sureties, as a Commissioner of Bank ruptcy sha'l approve of, to pay such su:n or sums as shall be recovered in any action, or actions, brought, or to b e b rought, for the recose - ry of the same, with costs, or to render into custody within the time allowed by the practice of the Court in which such action, or actions, shall he brought, every such trader shall be deemed to have ceironitted an act of bank ruptcy on the sad (ley after sers ice of such affidavit, or affida vita and n iii a, provided a fiat in bank ruptcy shall issue within two calendar months from the filing of suit affidavit, but not otherwise." 14. That if any person against whom any judgment shall have been entered up in any of the superior courts shall have any Government stock, funds, or annuities, or any stock or shares of or in any public company in England (incoiparated or not), standing in his name, in his own tight, or in the name of any pet on ire taalal for him, a J u d ge , on app li cat i on b y a ci judgment creditor," may order that stock, funds, annuities, or share=, or such part thereof as he shall think fit, shall stand charged with the amount of such judgment as if the sit - re hal been made a charge tharcen by the " judgment debtor." No p rty it to have the benefit of such charge until the lapse of six months from the dote of the order. 15. That such order of a Judge shall he Trade in the first instance ex parte, and, An ootica to the bank or company, shall op era t e as a. distringqs, until the same shall have been discharged. 16.
